During my life sciences degree, some of my friends took microbiology. As a 20-year-old, I remember thinking how frustrating (and honestly, a little boring) it would be to work exclusively with organisms you couldn’t see.
My friends seemed to spend hours glued to the microscope or scrutinizing diagrams to make sense of what was going on in this tiny, hidden universe. It made me think about how important visual learning is, even in its most basic forms.
